connecting vertices

hi, I have some problems connecting two vertice4s. According the material that i am following i should be able to do that selecting the two vertices which i wnat to connect an then hit F10, but it does not work at all. Can anybody help me? I am a rookie and i have no idea.

Thanks.

hit f-key !

I’d hit alt-M.

Alt+M does a merge not a connect.
F key connects vertices. If you have more then two selected f-key will create faces.

thanks guys

may be you should read a good intro to blender
